Pre-nerf CoS is just a nice to have item. It makes playing the game faster and easier, but it is not required for any content. You just need to be a little more strategic in where you choose to Feign Death, or how you approach going invisible through a dangerous area without one.
Lower level money camps will probably open up more on Green when Velious drops, because a lot of people are going to switch to doing all of the great Velious quests, or farming Velious loot. Velious has a LOT more time sinks for higher level players than Kunark.
As others have said, just focus on leveling for now. You picked one of the best classes for not needing any gear. You could level just fine naked, as long as you get your spells and a good supply of bone chips.
